I picked the book for June.
The Passing of the Night by Colonel Robinson Risner. I read it a number of years ago and I read it again. Colonel Risner gave the sermon on Thanksgiving at MacDill AFB in 1973 when we were stationed there. I was impressed by his strong faith that endured for seven years...and that one Thanksgiving he was thankful for a toothbrush and a sliver of soap.
Kinda puts everything in a different perspective.
I give the book a 9.5 on my scale of 1 -10. Vietnam was hell...for the soldiers and especially for the Prisoners of War. Was it a happy feel good read..no...but he told it like it was.
